Check Your Listening

“If the person you are talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”

– “Pooh’s Little Instruction Book,” Inspired by A.A. Milne

We all listen differently, based on our beliefs, opinions, past experiences, etc. Yet, we barely put any attention on how we listen.

We also listen differently in different situations. Imagine being on an airplane and the flight attendant is giving routine safety instructions. How do you listen? What if during the flight there is engine failure and the pilot directs the flight attendant to go over the safety instructions again? Now how do you listen?

The way we listen impacts everything. We have the power to alter how we listen at any given moment in time. We can choose to listen with compassion, with intention, with love, or we can listen to learn, or to appreciate. Choose how to listen and you will have the power to transform everything.

Transformational Actions:

Ask yourself throughout the course of your day, “How am I listening right now?”

Think about how you want people to listen to you, and then listen that way to others?
